Chapter 66

"Your Majesty, the elixir of immortality is illusory and unbelievable. Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty searched for decades and couldn't find it. Your Majesty sent Tang He to find it? It's futile, and it will only waste countless money and grains of the country in vain." Minister Lv Chang stood up and said, "So the old minister believes that this matter will not benefit Daming, and will only increase the burden on the people."

"Your Majesty, I have just established Daming, and the treasury is empty. While Your Majesty is in full swing, there is really no need to go out to sea to find the elixir of immortality," said Prince Young Fu Gaoqi.

"You two say the treasury is empty? Increase the burden on the people?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered when he heard the words, "Lu Chang, is the Ming treasury empty now? How do we remember that I just borrowed 5000 million taels of silver from you the day before yesterday?"

"As for increasing the burden on the people, it's even more nonsense. We are using our own money, what does it have to do with the people?"

Since he made money, Zhu Yuanzhang's speech has obviously become a lot tougher, and when people are rich, they will speak a lot louder.Unlike before, when he wanted to spend some money from the treasury, he had to look at the face of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing.Even if Lu Chang didn't dare to stand up against the emperor's majesty, he would still put on a reluctant, angry face like a little daughter-in-law.

"Lu Chang, among the ministers, you should not stand up against us, because you still owe us money."

"Old minister, old minister..." Lu Chang was speechless and quietly retreated.

……

"Your Majesty, even if His Majesty used his own money and did not increase the burden on the common people and did not use the national treasury money, this minister also felt that it was not possible at this time." Zheng Guogong Chang Mao stood up and said, "Because His Majesty can't find it at all. That Yingzhou Xiandao, Xu Fu has been searching for decades without results, let alone Tang He? Therefore, the final result of this matter must be futile."

After finishing speaking, he continued: "I remember that Xu Fu fled to the Japanese country because he was afraid of being punished by the First Emperor, and the search for the elixir didn't come to an end."

What he meant was that, afraid that the emperor would make Tang He anxious, he also learned from Xu Fu and led the fleet to escape to the Japanese state.

"Your Majesty, this minister also feels that it is impossible to let Zhongshan wait for Tang and go to sea." Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong said, "And your Majesty also asked Tang Shuai to catch big fish, which is a bit..."

Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong and Tang He had a very good relationship. They were both from Huaixi and had been born and died together. He felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was suspected of humiliating Tang He by doing so, so he stood up and spoke for him.

"Do you all think that our move is inappropriate?" Zhu Yuanzhang said after seeing that the crowd had finished talking.

"Please, Your Majesty, take your life back!" Song Lian took the lead and knelt down. Suddenly, the crowd knelt down one after another, and all members expressed their opposition.

Only Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen did not comment, and the two old fried dough sticks watched the changes in the courtroom.Ever since Emperor Zhu met 'that man', his actions were often unexpected.The first time he refuted all the ministers, and the second time he made a lot of money for the court.With the lessons learned from the first two times, it is impossible for them to be fooled for the third time.

"Who said we sent Tang He to the sea to find the immortal island of Yingzhou, who said we wanted to find the elixir of immortality?" Sure enough, at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, "We already knew about the immortal island of Yingzhou. Location, send soup and go is just to occupy the immortal island, not to seek."

call!call!
Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang let out a long sigh of relief when they heard the words: Sure enough, Emperor Zhu's actions exceeded everyone's expectations.If they stood up and opposed it with the ministers just now, I'm afraid they would leave a bad impression on the emperor again.

However, the emperor already knew the location of the Xiandao in Yingzhou, which still shocked them.There are immortals living on the immortal island of Yingzhou. The emperors of all dynasties have been searching for thousands of years in vain. How did Emperor Zhu find it?
Remember that he hasn't sent a navy to sea recently.

"Bowen, do you think this is credible?" Li Shanchang asked in a low voice.

"I can't say for sure," Liu Bowen said. "If I changed it to the past, I would definitely think it was nonsense. After all, the emperors of all dynasties have been searching for thousands of years and have not been able to find it. But there is an expert behind His Majesty's guidance, so I can't say for sure. ."

"No matter how powerful that person is, it's impossible to know about Yingzhou, but there are immortals living on the immortal island." Li Shan said long.

"Since the immortal island of Yingzhou is called immortal island, it is naturally an extraordinary mountain. Now that we know its location, of course we must include it in the Daming territory." Zhu Yuanzhang continued,

"There is an immortal island in Daming, wouldn't it be able to increase my national luck in Daming!? You are so short-sighted to stop it like this."

The emperor knows the location of Yingzhou Xiandao! ?

When the ministers heard the words, they were all shocked.

Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to search for decades but could not find it. It has been thousands of years. How did His Majesty know?
"Why, you don't believe it?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered when he saw the expressions of the ministers.

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't believe it. It's really because of this, it's too unbelievable!" Song Lian said.

"It's unbelievable, isn't it?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, a group of ignorant frogs at the bottom of the well, short-sighted people, "Well, let's let you know more."

"Two tigers!"

Erhu heard the words and immediately took out a huge scroll.Then he split up with the deacon and eunuch Jin Liyuan and opened it up.

Soon, a huge map appeared in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.Five meters long and three meters wide.Such a huge map, even the ministers can see clearly from a distance.

what is this?
Like a map!

The crowd froze for a moment.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what map is this? My minister, I have never seen it before." Liu Bowen was also surprised and said.

"This is a map of the world, I'm sorry you haven't seen it before." Zhu Yuanzhang said, took out a long stick and pointed to the map, "This place is my Daming territory. And Yingzhou Xiandao is here. The location, Tang He can reach as long as he leads the navy and sails obliquely upwards."

"Its geographical location is just below the Goryeo Peninsula, and there are no islands along the way. Tang He led the navy to the past without many setbacks."

After some pointers, the ministers were stunned.

"It turns out that the emperor has already made a decision in his heart, but I was short-sighted." Song Lian was finally convinced and said.

"Incorporating the immortal island of Yingzhou into Daming's territory will indeed greatly increase the national fortune of Daming, and it will not take much effort. Of course, it must be occupied quickly, and the small country of Koryo cannot be allowed to seize the opportunity." Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Yes, yes, Xiandao must be occupied and cannot be left to the small country of Fanbang."

"Yingzhou is an immortal island! With the immortal island in town, the Ming Dynasty will surely last forever." The ministers echoed.

"Those who don't know are not to blame." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled when he saw Gao Qi admit that he was wrong.

I put on another wave in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and I felt very comfortable.
